Lyrics

Meltdown, we're living in a meltdown Birds falling from the sky now, falling in the sea Meltdown, we're living in a meltdown Wake up in the morning, emergency 'Cause we're now living in a very wild world We're boiling frogs, it's a Facebook blur, oh yeah Got a ringside seat for the final countdown Put Santos on the spot with the right wing-clowns, oh yeah Oh, yeah So hold me, c'mon, won't you hold me? Hold me 'til the morning opens up the day Meltdown, freedom isn't sanctuary, it's responsibility For getting with the plan 'Cause we're now living in a very wild world We're boiling frogs, it's a Facebook blur, oh yeah Got a ringside seat for the final countdown Put X on the dot with the right wing-clowns, oh yeah Oh, yeah Hanging by the barest thread, silver lining turns to lead We can be those fallen angels, rising up to take our time instead Put the fires out, gaol the planet haters Play to win put them in the dock, oh yeah Oh yeah, must I get you to know All of the time that we're wasting and so? Down the track, thru the trees Kant and Hildegard could not see Our bare feet are scalded by the sand (Meltdown) meltdown's no weird fantasy (Living in a meltdown) I won't succumb to the grief (Birds falling from the sky now) the ending is no more torching the land So hold me, we'll be in good company Taking on the meltdown and getting with the plan
